The Coronavirus Discussion Thread.

And trumped up tin pot dictators

Well, I found something in this shit that we can agree on. Dictators are bad. Especially orange wannabe dictators. With tiny hands.

And not a single angry exchange along the way!

Well…

There is a compelling theory about the raison d’etre of minority religions like the JW sending people door to door to ‘recruit’ sinners to the family.

It is that the rejection is the point.

Sent out in to a harsh and rejecting world, our hardy harbingers of truth are met with scorn and insults, faced with a host of hostile heathens, unable or unwilling to accept the Word of God.

Then to return to the fold, to a place of safety, accepted unto the bosom of those that hold the truth. See? The outside world is scary, and it hates you.

These forays into unsafe spaces like this website seem to be a modern equivalent – presumably they then crawl back to their facebook groups and claim their victimhood there.

^^ That’s actually a r genuinely interesting argument regarding the JW etc. Must remember that.

It’s also reminded me to watch S2 of Everyone Else Burns. 🙂

Excellent, TVM.

Just so you all get an idea what our little returning conspiracy theorist is like. They sent a rather abusive email to us this am a lovely individual who now is on the kill list if they try to get back in.

So this “kill list” you mention above, is it a public stoning of the offender that anyone can attend?

They sent a rather abusive email to us

Honestly, put copies of it for sale in the shop and I’ll buy one

Standards are slipping. He used to post his little ‘sign offs’ on the forum for us all to enjoy.

It was worth his(?) time though, he’s converted dozens on here to the cause.

Oh, wait.

Just noticed, 1000 pages!

Will hopefully manage a nights sleep without waking up in a puddle of sweat several times a night.

Spent at least a week like that, along with another month using a bog roll a day to contain the ocean of green goo that seemed to inhabit the space behind my nose that my brain would normally occupy.

That was about ten years or so ago, so not Covid.

I had my Flu/Covid jabs last week, made my arm ache for several days, but I’ve got enough aches at the moment to not worry about it. I’ve been getting free flu jabs for some years, from work, and now my doctors surgery notifies me when it’s available, have done for several years.

This is the first year in abut 20 I have not been able to get a flu jab and the first since covid jab became available. I really don’t want to get either virus again, the flu was absolutely awful but covid the second time I couldn’t move very far without having to pause for breath.

I just paid for a Covid jab and will pay for flu maybe next week. Rankles that we have to (especially with the price gouging) but I’d rather pay than suffer the illness
